In a good place, but finding some Q-tips holding up two of the medicine cabinet shelves was a new experience for this creature!
At night, I keep thinking I hear the beginning of footsteps up above, but it's just the building settling! Or the computer in the other room! Aiiieee!!!!
There's already been some interesting new people and circumstances cropping up, and I am getting reminders from another time...
Found pictures from the '90s of family (both a blood relative and not a blood relative but someone who helped take care of us) and I wonder if the back of a head with hair pulled back into a ponytail could possibly be...
While moving, I found some old ticket stubs in a filing cabinet. Atlanta to LAX interrupted by Memphis to LAX, January something 2018. The black shirt with the blond fairy on it that I was wearing is now a cleaning rag. I remember that I thought the car salesman could use a dose of feminism, ha-ha. I started chewing on t-shirts six months later. Wouldn't it be nice if that's over with now, too?

"In the 2020s, everyone was neurologically divergent in their own special & unique ways."
Perhaps the universe is just as amused by the twists and turns of its creations as a human being can be while riding a roller coaster, or driving up winding roads.
I am thinking once again of the interior of the door of the car, and how many components need to work together in order for anything to function well.
In recent days, some very daunting spells of nervous exhaustion came over me. What else could I do, but try to survive them and get better at learning more about my own nervous system?
When I had those spells of nervous exhaustion, it really did feel as if an ancestor of mine who was the mother of more more than ten children (perhaps thirteen or so) was resurfacing. She was the one who got put in an insane asylum twice - once after her husband died unexpectedly from blood poisoning, and again after they let her out and thought she might be okay. Then they decided that she wasn't, so they sent her back to the asylum, and there she remained.
My life is so different compared to hers. So why did I feel a kinship with her? Epigenetics, maybe. Stressors from this lifetime accumulating, perhaps. For whatever reason, it momentarily felt as though her experience was very close to me.
This evening, it feels like much of a transition has been completed. How alone I felt when those panic attacks occured. But I almost can't remember them now.
Thinking of how there are so many things that people have wanted to ignore or not look at in the past, but these are exactly the kinds of things which can become the learning opportunities which will benefit humanity and future generations...and (in my opinion) future lives for the present generations, too.
When you have the right frame of mind, these trials and hurdles can still be really interesting experiences to learn from.
The balanced human nervous system can absolutely be wonderful helper. Sometimes, those who lost touch with how well it can operate in a balanced state can deeply appreciate getting it back to a state of balance.
My cat has moved. She stayed inside of a carrier with a blanket over it several hours. She mewed incessantly in the early morning, waking up the humans. Then she mostly hid inside of cabinet for about one day. Now she is out and about, exploring, and napping on comfortable surfaces.
Cozy & Calm is such a pleasant state of well-being to enjoy.
Someone was driving around with the outer shell of the car door removed (well actually, it was probably crumpled & crunched off due to a recent accident.) Everyone sees the shiny exteriors of doors, but what goes on beneath the surface? Is it intriguing? I thought it was. Maybe it was an accident in the past, but now it's got the potential to be one of those fascinating learning experiences!
It can be that way with humans, too.
May the Universe support me so I can feel healthy and sound in mind and body as I make it through important transitions.

I was better earlier, so I will work to get back to that better state. Please, angels.
I pray to be saved from the exhaustion & fear that this move is grinding into me because my body won't let me get everything done and I feel like I am breaking down and want to leave all my possessions.
People deserve love and healing. They can be very challenging and sometimes their greed or short-sightedness is harmful and the damage they don't know they are doing to themselves and each other can be very upsetting. People deserve healing. It can be rough. It can be smooth. A lot of different behaviors have similar root causes. I am learning more about our world everyday and getting better at allowing these lessons to heal me, too. Thank you for every little piece of healing that can be processed. Namaste.
I am starting to get better at understanding what I can learn from the experiences I have had, part of which is that different behaviors have almost the same root causes, and it's been a very hard time for me to be in this body recently, but I do thank the healing aspects of this Universe for helping me get even a little bit better at understanding more of what I can know, and I realize that I still have a ways to go, but I am thanking the Universe for every piece of progress.
Please help me to feel I can bring healing to every aspect of me that got unwell because of messages that got picked up from other people which are not for me & my highest most healing purpose.
Please help me to get all my helpers and healers of the nervous system to heal us.
Dear U, now I know that moving when there's a death in the family or a major medical event is really extra hard. Maybe now that I know that, al future relocations will be easier?
Good vibrations infiltrated, and I feel like a healthier human being. Haaaaaa...
Even though there were some better parts, today's lows were so low, I hope it's the bottom, and that it gets better from now on.
I really need a higher power to help me. It's too much. Moving is combining with other worries. There will be an important medical operation next week. I just cannot do all of this work right now. I need a break.

"Some might be surprised to learn that child labor is an increasingly dire problem in the United States. While many companies think of this as something that potentially occurs in their supply chains in countries far from their headquarters, the data tells us otherwise. The number of children illegally employed by U.S. companies has increased by as much as 70 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Labor."

"With expanded paid sick leave, will more farmworkers work two jobs during harvest?"
"When I started to photograph agriculture workers in 1979 and found children as young as 5 working in the fields, I was stunned. I had thought that Hine and his fellow social advocates had effectively eradicated child labor. But now it was my turn to travel across America to document this phenomenon.
I got up early in the morning to see children working in the fields. Entire families were picking together because there were few child-care facilities and the family needed the extra income to eat. Often the children were swaddled in blankets half asleep as their parents began work, then slowly joined in, picking onions or tomatoes or strawberries or blueberries or other crops. These children were exposed to pesticides and savage conditions — heat, lack of water and toilets, constant bending — that are so much a part of agriculture. I met a 7-year-old boy being paid 30 cents a bucket to pick tomatoes in Leipsic, Ohio. As I raised my camera, his eyes met mine. I could see his tiredness and his childhood being stolen by this hard labor.
I remember showing my photographs to editors at numerous publications in the early 1980s. 'Oh, we know that children work in the fields,' some told me. To many, it was not a sexy-enough story."
"Opinion | Ken Light: Photographing child workers"
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/05/08/child-labor-photography-ken-light/
"Today, if we show my photographs from more than 40 years ago alongside Hine’s work from more than 100 years ago, it is not because the phenomenon of child labor in America is a new one. It’s because it continues, often with minimal consequences for the companies that benefit, bolstered by the efforts of a conservative advocacy group that is actively trying to roll back labor protections for kids. As Cesar Chavez wrote in the introduction to my book: 'Exploitation of farm workers and their children is just as real today as it was twenty years ago. The fight is not over — it has just been renewed. You see, time does not heal injustice; only people do.'”

"Many foster homes were not properly vetted and she feared that vulnerable children might find themselves in unsuitable homes or that they had been taken in as cheap domestic help. With the constant influx of new children, arrangements were so hurried, 'none of us knew the children; in many cases not even the bare facts of their backgrounds; and hardly anyone knew the families who offered to take them into their homes,' she wrote later. Tante Anna's disagreement with the Refuge Children's Movement over the weekly 'cattle market' escalated into a painful clash of views" (144).
~ Deborah Cadbury, The School that Escaped the Nazis
Does and does not.
"The Refugee Children's Movement did accept that there were problems at Dovercourt. Organisers conceded that they had difficulty matching each child with a family of a similar background. One internal report went so far as to acknowledge the camps were little more than 'slave markets' where foster parents, however well-meaning, went to select one child 'but unconsciously did harm to many by looking them over and rejecting them'. Indeed, one girl, when her name was announced on the camp tannoy, cried out, 'Ich bin verkauft . . .' ('I am sold'). But for all this, there was no other way of solving the essential problem: to save children they had to empty the reception camps quickly. Volunteers on the ground in Greater Germany responsible for making the selections for the Kindertransports were facing panic from parents desperate to get their children to safety. Tante Anna did not succeed in stopping the hurried foster placements, but she did eventually bring an end to the 'cattle market'. The marching of children and potential foster parents was carried out more discreetly, through private interviews rather than the dreaded Sunday parade" (144).

Mmm...mmm...mmm. Save us, Jesus.
I can tell that I think that when some women treat other women way worse than necessary just to get by on patterns inherited from the old dying Patriarchal Ways, it's pretty sad.
Certain Patriarchal Ones who were trained to belittle themselves and others entice followers who go along with their really unwell behavior patterns in exchange for money, big houses, big boats, better health insurance, status, acceptance, etcetra...
"Essinger 'managed to establish ‘a kind of honour code,’ continued Susanne. ‘I don’t know how she did it. The worst thing you could do was lie and cheat.’” The children who did behave badly were hardly disciplined by the staff because, as Susanne Trachsler recalled,
'The other pupils themselves treated them with such contempt that they stopped immediately. . . . We sort of educated each other.'
In reflecting on the shared courage of these individuals, I’m reminded of a quote from Quaker mystic and social activist Rufus M. Jones in The Luminous Trail: 'Nobody knows how the kindling flame of life and power leaps from one life to another. What is the magic quality in a person which instantly awakens faith?'"

Those old patterns were not even so good for most of the world's children, either.

Sometimes men who have surrounded themselves with people who would be way worse to them if they weren't existing in a man's body at this moment have suffered very much.
Sometimes moms who have surrounded themselves with people who would be way worse to them if they weren't existing in a mom's body at this moment have suffered very much.

But then again, how is a mom not like a man?
I don't know.

"Being a mom" was another expression of genetics, social status, self-care, love, nurturing, and many other things for some people.
But it was not necessarily very inclusive of many other kinds of experiences that are still happening on this planet.
